ted all the wedding events= welcome dinner; 1st look; family photos, wedding portraits, wedding ceremony, and reception. She also provided a photo booth display that guests said had the best props. It was a big hit at the reception. Would highly recommend her to photograph any of your family Big events. Her & her team were highly professional and very easy to work with.
We celebrated our wedding June 26, 2020 and I was fortunate to have found Kimberly. She was very punctual even though I was not. And although I was slightly tardy, she was extreme...
ly patient and understanding; Going out of her way to calm me and reassure me that things were fine. She captured every photo on my shot list even adding some last minute request. She also stayed a little longer than our agreed upon allotted time (to ensure she fulfilled a request of mine). I appreciated her courteousness and professional work ethic to make my day special and memorable. The online photo gallery was available within a week. The photos she captured was absolutely stunning. Her expertise and instructions for each picture were impeccable and easy to follow. I highly recommend her services as I will be using Kimberly Lyddane Photography for all of life’s precious moments.

m so that we could get to our reception on time. They captured candid moments beautifully and made sure that we got all the photos we were looking for. Kimberly is very easy to work with and was able to quickly diffuse photo-shoot awkwardness. She also got us our photos very quickly after the wedding compared to what we've heard from friends at other weddings. Overall, fantastic experience and would recommend to anyone looking for a photographer.

ed every special moment from our engagement and wedding photos. I would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone I know and if I ever need a photographer for a family event in the future she will be the first person I contact. She has given us priceless memories that I will cherish forever. Throughout our whole process she was kind, personable, professional and flexible (giving us great ideas for photos and listening to what we wanted as well). It was one of the best decisions we made hiring her as our photographer and we received countless compliments about our photos! Kimberly is one vendor you will NOT have to worry about on your wedding day. She truly is the best and is worth every penny and more!!

make our day PERFECT that I’ve taken too long to find the right words to say. Kimberly is knowledgeable, sweet, timely, and encompasses EVERYTHING you’d look for in a Wedding Photographer. She has an amazing eye for detail, and we loved how she incorporated a Go-Pro and back-lighting. Our Engagement & Wedding Photos are proudly displayed ALL around our House. Photographs are a HUGE deal to me, so finding the perfect Wedding Photographer was a MUST – if you’re still looking for your perfect photographer, don’t hesitate to reach out! You’ll regret it if you don’t!

I can't say enough good things about Kimberly. As soon as I received the first e-mail from her I knew I wanted her to be our photographer and she did not disappoint. We haven't e...
ven seen the wedding photos yet and everyone is still telling me that I had to have picked the best photographer ever. She worked non-stop from the moment she arrived EARLY to taking night pictures AFTER the reception was over. Her positive personality, creative vision, and work ethic all came together and she was a wonderful vendor choice for us. Picking a photographer can be a stressful time - stop stressing now and just call Kimberly!
My fiance and I had Kimberly for our engagement photos. She was on time, listened to our requests, and was creative with her own ideas. Most important to us, she made us feel com...
fortable the entire time we were with her, and allowed us to be ourselves.
When my husband and I look back at our wedding day, we both agree that the best decision we made was hiring Kimberly as our photographer. I first found Kimberly while researching o...
n The Knot and was excited because I recognized her from high school. I immediately contacted her and she responded quickly and was adaptive to the package and pricing. We were so impressed with her genuine happiness for our relationship and her professional attitude. Since we were planning from out of town, the first time we met Kimberly in person was at our first look photo shoot at Bull Run Battlefield sites in Virginia before the wedding ceremony. I was feeling overwhelmed with a nervous excitement, but my nerves went away as soon as I arrived because Kimberly directed us in a way that our first look was captured beautifully by her camera while making us feel like we were all alone in that moment. From the start, she seemed to know exactly how to pose us naturally with wonderful artistic direction. She focused on both the look of the large scale photo and the small details, like hand placement, hair/veil, head tilts, etc. I e-mailed Kimberly prior to the wedding with a few notes on the locations and types of photos we were looking for and she clearly took everything into consideration. She even visited the locations ahead of time to get ideas for our photo shoot and saved time by knowing where and how to photograph us!
During the ceremony and reception, Kimberly was able to capture all of our favorite moments. During the night, she took small opportunities to pull us aside for great photo ops while also knowing when we needed to focus on our guests. She was there for every moment that needed to be captured but was not too noticeable. Kimberly took all of the family portraits in a timely manner and was adaptive to the requests that we had. She also knew that we wanted our bridal party photos to look natural instead of posed, so she allowed us to have fun with our large and goofy group during the photographs. We received several compliments after the wedding in regards to Kimberly's energy and professionalism. At the end of the night, when all of the guests had left and it was past the time that we had arranged for Kimberly to stay, she pulled my husband and I aside to take one last photo of us in rocking chairs, a request I forgot I had made. It was the perfect way to end the night and I was so impressed that she made stayed late to make it happen.
Kimberly posted 20 photos from our wedding on social media for our sneak peak three days after our wedding! I looked through them and was immediately in awe of her work. As we looked through the photos, we felt like each of them were so beautiful and could be straight out of a bridal magazine! Kimberly made us look and feel like models while also allowing us to still look like ourselves. The photos clearly portray the type of couple we are--happy, goofy, classic, nerdy, and in love. She also captured the beauty of the historical sites, which was so special to me. I look through the photos everyday and still cannot choose which one is my favorite!
Kimberly deserves more praise than I can put into words. My husband and I will be forever thankful to her for capturing the most incredible day of our lives in such a beautiful way. I would highly recommend hiring Kimberly for any type of event. I cannot wait to use her photography skills again in the future.

Kimberly blew me away! She took my son's first birthday photos - complete with a cake smash! She is so easy to work with and incredibly creative. She sent me lists, ideas and remin...
ders leading up to our shoot. Then, she brought a bouquet of balloons for our son. It was so sweet. It really is amazing to see her work because she is so good at adapting to any environment and comes up with ideas on the spot. She knows her craft well and is so efficient. I was incredibly impressed and thankful we had the chance to with her. The photos turned out better than I could have ever imagined and I will treasure them forever. I can't wait until we get to work with her again! Thank you, Kimberly.
Kimberly was the most amazing photographer my husband and I have ever worked with. She is beyond professional. We were comfortable with her even before we met. She was so thoughtfu...
l in what we were interested in. We had such a fun time at our photo shoot!! My husband did not complain once, that is a huge accomplishment on its own. We are so lucky that we found Kimberly, we can not wait to book her for our next session!
My wife and I met with Kimberly over a year before our wedding, while evaluating photographers in the area. Immediately we clicked with her positive attitude and open mind. We went...
into the discussion having some specific questions about how Kimberly would handle certain logistical and family situations. Not only was she able to address all of our questions, but she was able to give examples of where she handled similar challenges in the past. Our concerns was addressed! In reviewing her previous work, she really stood out from the other photographers that we'd previously interviewed. She clearly has a portfolio with variety, and adapted to various scenarios whether they be portraits or candid pictures (which was very important to us). Kimberly was very clear that she wanted to make sure we hit on all the types of photos that we wanted, and asked us to provide her with a specific list and/or our Pintrest board showing examples of the types of pictures we wanted. This made us feel very confident! The day of the wedding, Kimberly was punctual and moved effortlessly between the bridal suite and the groom's suite. She was fun and light hearted when she needed to be, taking full advantage of both parties getting ready to produce some truely excellent candid shots. Our venue has a lot of outdoor areas that we wanted covered, and Kimberly's photos absolutely caught how gorgeous the day turned out to be weather wise, and wedding decoration wise. During the wedding and reception, she was never in the way respecting everyone's space yet somehow snapping some truely emotional and meaningful moments. When the party ramped up, Kimberly was on the dance floor capturing the revelry of the crowd, and absolutely hitting on the candid photo requirement we'd initially talked about. She was very flexible about staying a little later to capture some night scenes, as well as the sparkler send off. In the end, we had a full picture (no pun intended) of the day that clearly tells a story. We would definitely recommend Kimberly for her skill, attitude, and attention to detail.
Kimberly is a wonderful, kind, thoughtful person who put 110% effort into making my engagement photos truly memorable. Very detailed oriented and spent numerous hours editing my ph...
otos. Very talented photographer!
Kimberly is an amazing photographer. Top of the line. She provided awesome ideas and very friendly. She made the day fun and relaxing. Picture quality was the best i have ever seen...
. I would highly recommend.
Kimberly is a true professional. We hired Kimberly to photograph our daughter's wedding and some pre-wedding shooting on our farm. Kimberly did an amazing job and the wedding album...
turned out magnificient. We never had to tell Kimberly what photos to take, she knew exactly which ones would contribute and would mean the most on that treasured day. Kimberly never put herself in the spotlight, and if you asked me, I hardly noticed her the night of the wedding, until I saw all the beautiful photos she took that memorial day and evening. I would highly recommend Kimberly, not only for weddings, but for any memorial event that someone would want captured. Kimberly is a true, consummate, professional in her photography area of expertise.
Kimberly is a wonderful photographer. She did both my engagement session and my wedding/reception and all of the photos turned out beautiful. She's so nice and makes you feel very ...
comfortable. She's also VERY reasonably priced for the amazing quality of her photos. I loved that she digitally releases the photos to you, which gives you the option of having all of your photos and being able to print them on your own terms. She also has tons of packages and extras that she can do for you (her photo albums are gorgeous). I would highly recommend her to anyone (friends, family, strangers), and I will always use her in the future for any photography needs (when I have babies!)!
